Achromobacter genetic adaptation in cystic fibrosis

This study analyzes Achromobacter genomes from CF patients to identify genetic adaptation and antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

Gene loss and acquisition in lineages of bacteria evolving in a human host environment

The paper analyzes gene loss and acquisition in 45 Pseudomonas aeruginosa lineages from cystic fibrosis patients over years of infection, identifying convergent evolution and virulence-related genes.

Hypermutator Pseudomonas aeruginosa exploits multiple genetic pathways to develop multidrug resistance during long term infections in the airways of cystic fibrosis patients

This study shows how hypermutator Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains develop multidrug resistance through parallel evolution of distinct genetic pathways during chronic cystic fibrosis infections.

Low spatial structure and selection against secreted virulence factors attenuates pathogenicity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

This study shows that spatial structure in non-host environments reduces virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by selecting against secreted virulence factors.

Privatisation rescues function following loss of cooperation

The paper shows that loss of cooperation in bacterial populations can be rescued by the evolution of private, selfish behaviors that restore essential functions.
